Details
Arena Racing features one-half-scale stock cars racing on a portable 1/10-mile (161m) track inside of an arena in the mold of
indoor soccer and
indoor football, meaning that events take place within an arena instead of the usual outdoor venue. The cars are capable of speeds up to 100 mph (161 km/h).
Events are scheduled in a heat style format (like sprint cars), as oppose to
NASCAR's format of one long race. The league promises a minimum of seven races per night . The Arena Racing season runs from October to March, which is the offseason of major series such as NASCAR and
Formula 1.
Currently there are two venues scheduled to host races for the 2008–2009 season, began in October. The
Hampton Coliseum in
Hampton, Virginia, and the
DeltaPlex Arena in
Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The Charlotte schedule is currently on hold while they find a dedicated operator. The Charlotte market is partially sponsored by
Joe Gibbs Racing.
